New Strategy I Thought Of

[Mr. Franchise]

This week I sold all my players and bought all players that had BYE weeks, giving myself a BYE week. Seeing as all their values dropped, once they get back into action their values should shoot back up, giving me a nice cash boost. Anyone else thought of this?

That's nice for a cash boost, but you're dead in the water now as far as points are concerned.

If your only playing for the weekly prizes it's a good idea
But if your playing for the grand prize it's a very bad idea

[Antec]

Yeah, it's definitely a good idea if you've already had a couple bad weeks/joined late.

Doing it once should give you a boost for the rest of the year if you manage your team well and don't lose value on bad moves. If you make a huge value gain you should be able to maintain that high number for the rest of the season.

The only issue I've noticed with a high value is the tax numbers go up by a lot. I now have .75 tax fee at $242 value.

Its not too bad of an idea but like everyone else has said, your basically killing your chances of winning the Grand Prize but you'll still be able to win the weekly prizes.

I took advantage of the bye week thing as well to get Drew Brees at what is probably going to be the cheapest value I could get him at all season.

My strategy is to pick good players... nice strategy huh?

I thought of that strategy, and am using it somewhat but not to the extreme level you mention. Last week I actually had enough cash left over to grab McNabb when he was at 10.06, considering he just had his bye week as well I could possibly ride him for the rest of the season and only have roughly 10.00 invested in him. This week I grabbed Aaron Rodgers for 25.02 and am sitting on him as my 3rd QB with the intentions of using him after the bye week, and it doesnt hurt that his next 2 games are against Detroit and Cleveland. Im sitting with a full lineup and a 3rd QB as well as 7.77 left so Im hoping to grab another bye week player to sit on for next week. I would honestly be shocked if more teams werent doing this.

I was able to grab Drew Brees, Jay Cutler, Matt Forte, Darren Sproles, Marques Colston, Greg Jennings, Vincent Jackson, Jeremy Shockey, Phillip Rivers, Mason Crosby, and Jets D for only 160 bucks.

You mad?

[bukktown]

Everybody is going to buy Drew Brees this week and gonna make $20 profit immediately.

Here is my new strategy......STOP OVER THINKING ALL THIS!!!!
I started the first 2 weeks in the top 50, since then I have spent more time each week scouting players and have seen my rank drop lower and lower. I think when this week is over I'm going to be out of the top 100 which is mad stupid because I can't figure out why I suck! I'm sticking to what I know from this point on and F all the other BS.
